A successful Senior Sales Manager will understand clients' long-term business objectives and identify opportunities to grow their business through StackAdapt's programmatic advertising solutions.

Build and maintain trusted relationships with agencies, and key industry stakeholders across NSW, Australia.

Develop a deep understanding of local market dynamics, competitive activity, customer behaviour, and industry trends to uncover new revenue opportunities.

Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting, and opportunity tracking through CRM while consistently exceeding revenue targets.

Represent StackAdapt at client meetings, industry events, and networking opportunities to strengthen brand presence and expand market relationships.

What you’ll bring to the table:
